lie secelleaed the- prevailing pririciple•of. a RiOt ecureble Gentleman, now no more (Mr. Pitt), • upon questions of this nature, viz.- to endeavour to gar such crowds upon a constitutional questine rs :-.lieule separate the really well intentioned from the I ad, Le thought he could.not riC: bettor than st.ig gent_ a sinelar course of proceeding, and for that reuse would recommend delay„ , .The Ho t curable Gentleman deprecataAteing led away by the- nifittence of passion rather than judg ment, and was therefore anxious for adjourning the Question. . The MASTER of the ROLLS (SirW. Grant) wish ed that however opinions of Gentlemen might vary, tie ultimate decision of the House should not be able to impeachment. He should be sorry that as inanyersspeelable Members had declared they were not prepared to decide on the question, that the House should proceed without giving proper time to v ell consider the Paper. Some Gentlemen had ehjeeed to the discussion on this. slay, because it rr euld interfere with the Walcherso question, For his part, he had voted for the resent question to hr discussed, conceiving that, other, Gentlemen would, like himself, be prepared, but ashen he toiled that not to be the case, he- was .bound to accede to the adjournment. The question was not hether the Paper denied that the HOuse had the right of privileges, but whether that right was de nied in such a manner as to make the author liable to answer. On that subjeEt he,was quite clear that if was a libel. If the House ,was to come to a de rision on the principal question this night, there were ulterior questions depending on this, which could not be decided now, and therefore as it was probable the Walcheren debate might. go into ano ther week, he felt that he must vote for adjourn ment of some description or other. There was another strong reason for delay, and that was, that in this case the House were Accusers and Judges. On the question of Privileges, without reviewing the state of the Constitution, he would say, that if it were necessary to model the Constitution anew, he would give to such a body as this.:HoUsdethe privi lege that they now enjoy. The House, however, were the Judges, and ought to proceed Avith a great deal of sobriety. • As to the propriety of bringing the question before the House, heeforone; was not disposed to go in search of questions of privileges. The present question was, however, forced on the House ; and, therefore, they could not give it the go-bye. It could not be retreated from ; and this he must say, that he never koew a question of pri vilege mooted that was produelive - of great good. The night Hen, Gentleman was- not inclined to crater timidity with the cloak of- contempt, when there was a fair, decent, and honourable way of avoiding it, and must vote for the adjournment. The CHANCELLOR of the .Exeuitutiert was dis pogl, after what he had heard, egpeeeiiilly — from his Hoe. Friend who last spoke, not to '619 Pose the ad journment. He was anxious not 'be'thought as ob-!inatcly and pertinacieusly adhering to opinions of his own, which, however, he still onfoitutiate ly retained. He wished distinctly to state, that though lie yielded to the opinions of others, he had foetid no reason for so doing through fear, or a ish tor unanimity. Be still thought that ie peinr et legal right and legal crime in the chkge, the case was as clear as any that had come before tee House. He agreed to delay on the ground of' necessity. With an understanding that the intro ductory part of the amendment should be emitted; with tles understanding he must 'be permitted to re. ke au observation or tease From the wanner in e pith Gantlemen opposite greeted his acquiscence, the, ticu,e would see what sort of unanimity it was they wished to preserve when they desired adjournment. Some of his Honourable friends had been imposed upon by them in that respee. With ts al observation on their consistency 'he would leave the non. Gentlemen to their triumph. Mr. PONSONEY insisted that the flight Honour -able Gentleman was not justified 'in making those ehservations, for he (Mr. P.) had yestetday Moved for a week's delay, on the ground thee'it was de sirable time should be given to understand the paper. The Right Honourable Gentleman had said that his a,q - uieseence was not received with sans faaioo, but that it had been met, as it were, on his side of the House, LI a mean, shabby, and paltry feeling of, pleasure, in a triumphant manner, as he had expressed himself. The Right Honourable Getelearatt, however, rated himself tax) high, and (Mt. P.'s) Honourable Friends and himself too low, if he imagined they were to be 'elevated by any such thing as what he was pleasechto term a triumph. • The Hon. Member who proposed the - amend merit, afterwards withdrew it. Mr. BLACHFORD deprecated 'the use:of - personal allusions instead of argument, and thought that some alteration in the rules of the House was neces s try if such allosions were permitted: Mr. DENNIS BROWNE arose to speak (and the Hcuse being disposed to separate), considered it indecent and improper to interrupt a Gentleman in his speech, by rising, and withdrawing out of the House. , The question was then put for adjourning the deb..te till to-morrow sennight, and the SPEAKER declared that the Ayes had it. Mr. LETHBRIDGE, however; insisted that the c les had it, on -which the Gallery was ordered to. be cleared. The House, however, determined without a division, that the debate should be adjourned till' this day se'nnight: • Ihe House then adjourned at One,o'elock this ummingt- Tf i E S U N-: -SOLEM QUIS DICERS' FA LSUM AUDEA,7I LON D 6 THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1810. It is with great satisfaEtion that we announce to .• readers the further success of our arms ia the West Indies. Dispatches were this morning re 7 eived at the Admiralty from Sir A. COCHRANE, dated the latter end of February, .whiostate, that the Islan of St. Eustatius, St. Martin's,,and small Island of Saba, had surrendered to his Majes- .ty's'arms, without the loss of a. man on our part. These Islands belonged to.ttie Dutch ; so that the enemy .do not possess one foot of territory in that part of the world. We have been favoured.with the following extract of a Letter on board one of our ships at Cadiz. , It, is dated the lath March : " Since my last letter, the French have made no movements of any importance; they seem to be wholly occupied in ereeting batteries, and in prepar ing a bridge composed of casks, for the . purpose Of crossing over to the Isla, and it is very probable that they will make the attempt Some dark night. The enemy have a strong masked battery opposed to Fort Matagorda, and the ship that is lying off that fort. The French . have not yet opened this battery, but it is expected to commence its.fire every hour. in . all the enemy's forts and batteries they have forges for heating of shot, and they have of late fired several red-hot shot at the ships that were driven on shore during the late gales. The vessels on shore are so thick, that it is with difficulty we can 'get to Cadiz. I understand that a. plan is in agitation for removing the French prisoners which were on board the Spanish ships. While lam writing, a Spanish Rear Admiral has hoisted his flag ou board the St. Anna." Government this morning received Dispatches from -Cadiz, which, we are happy to say, are of a satisfadory nature. Mr. WELLESLkY reached Cadiz on the 4th or sth inst. A reinforcement of three British ships of the line arrived about the same time. On the 6th and the following days there blew a most tremendous hurri. cane from the Westward Which drove on shore several merchantmen, some transports, four Spanish line Of battleships, and one Portuguese, Alth,,ugh these ships were driven to that side of the harbour occupied by the Enemy, there is no danger of his deriving any ad.: vantage from this accident, as two or three of the five have._ been .got .off, and the others have been . burnt.; the latter fortunately being the least service able ships of the whole fl.;,et, and not considered as fit to go to sea again. The enemy had made- no serious ,advances, and we have seen a letter, from the highest Wb'cli states Cadiz to be in a state of por:ect secu-' rite-, which it is considered cannot be endangered by any attack from the enemy, as long as it is oc cupicd•by a British Garrison. Admiral ALAVA has been removed from theconi- mand of the fleet to another situation, and Admiral VILLAVICIOSA, who is considered as 'a person of the most patriotic principle, and much attached to the British, is appointed in his room. The following is a list of the ships that were driven on shore in the late gales ontanise, 74, burnt. . San katnon, 74, burnt. Conception, 130, now burning, 13th, 6 A. 14.

A long Debate took place last night in the House of Commons, respeaing Sir BURDETT. The question was at length adjourned to this day se'n" night. ;Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, the KING arrived at the QUEEN'S Palace, from Windsor, where he was received by the Dukes of YORK, CUMBERLAND," and KENT. Soon after two o'clock his MAJESTY held a private levee. .

Les SPANISH PAPERS. CADIZ, MARCH 13.—We were visited by a mo,t tiemendous gale of wind on the 7th and sth inSt: by whiCh about 36 vessels have suffered severely. As yet we do not know. the full extent of the loss Three Spanish ships of the line, one frigate, one Portuguese ship of war, and nine English merchant men, - have been lost or burnt by the enemy. Nine more English merchantmen have suffered severely.- . CADIZ, 'MARCH 17.—Several transports' from Lisbon have arrived here under convoy of his Ma jesty's ships De Roth, and Myrtle, with three British and one Portuguese regiments, .and two companies of Artillery. We expect others from Gibraltar the first Easterly wind. - All communication with ,the ;inferior,, is for the present stopped by the ,Frenoi, who are a few miles from us. • CADIZ, MARCH, 13.—1 n consequence of the violeni storm which was experienced in the course of last week, and the like of which never was witnessed before, in point of the violence of the gale, or of the heaviness of the sea, fifteen mer chant vessels, and the Spanish ships of war Pu rissina, Concepeion, San Ramon, and Montanas, with the Portuguese, ship of war La Maria, were lost on the south east coast of the Bay. The frigate Paz was also lost, but the ship Pluto, which also got ashore, was brought afloat again. The greater part of the said ships having got aground at high water, all attempts to save them must have been useless. In.order, therefore, to prevent the enemy from rendering himself master of them, the Portuguese ship of war Motl tanas, and the frigate Paz, were burnt, after all useful stores as well as the cargoes had-been take it out. The enemy also set fire to some merchant vessels, and having appeared on the beach during the storm, 500 men strong, this force was fired upon from the castles and ouf advanced parties. We are as yet _ignorant of the names of the ships which were lost, and also of the ports whence they set sail. The enemy has coinpleted the camp of Algaida, and it would seem that he intends to form another close to the Castle of St. Catherine, As far as we have been able to ascertain the strength of the enemy's force in Puerto Real, it Amounts to about 1200 men, and three howitzers are mounted on the pier. Near the mill, a small detachment has taken post, which serves two pieces of cannon mounted there, and the enemy's force in the camp of Algaida does not exceed 1500 men. EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE. CADIZ, MARCH 6.—h appears by accounts re ceived from Malaga, Maroelia, Estepona, Tarifa, St. Roque, and Algesiras, that the French have eva- cuated all the said places. The American brig Eliza, destined from Corunna to Guernsey, has been forced into Plymouth by con trary winds. The following extracts are from letters received by this opportunity : " CORUNNA, MARCH 1 .—The Gavachos (French) have arrived at Astorga and Baneza to the number of 8000, but they have attempted nothing yet. They have evacuated Gijon, but not Oviedo. " Our army of the left is to reinforcohe Eng. Usti and Portoguese, and we hope a favourable re- suit from their fortitude and patriotism. " Our Gallicians go on well, and the Junta exert themselves in every department for the.. pub lic.security." " MARCH 7.—The Junta is employed by every expedient to procure arms, and a great. number of small pieces of artillery have been already supplied. We have much confidence in the existing Govern ment, and 19ok with little anxiety to the termina tion of the conflict." The Princess of SAXONY, who was first destined,. by rumour, to be the partner of BUONAPARTE'S', Throne, is now intended for the brother of the Ena,-., press of AUSTRIA, the Archduke FRANCIS. A singular report is in circulation, Sounded on the authority of a letter from Paris, that NAPOLEON in tends, soon after his marriage, to place the Arch duke CHARLES on the throne of Spain. Although we have long ceased to be surprised at any of his projeas, we cannot readily give credit to this ru mour. It is also stated from the same source, that all, the Members of the late reigning family of Spain, now in France, are to be sent to South America but 'we cannot perceive what object of BUONA PARTR'S policy is likely to be answered by such an aa, -Mr. MONROE, the Messenger,' brought over with him from Constantinople, from the Grand. Signor, as a present to his MAJESTY, a number of saddles and horse-cloths, richly decorated with gold. and silver. They were yesterday removed from the Fo reign Office V) the Queen's. Palace. It is said that Mr. HUNT, the late Treasurer of the Ordnance, who quitted this country for Lisbon, has proceeded to America. It appears, that when he was appointed a second time to the office, his Se curities, Sir CHARLES POOLE and Mr. DAVY, were not renewed ; so that they are, luckily for them selves, not responsible. Tuesday at noon, as a Gentleman was walking along Flecr-stseet, he had his pocket-book stolen from him near Temple Bar, containing Upwards of 30001. in Exchequer Bills. The Horse Guards were under arms the whole of .Tuesday aid last night. Tuesday night, about twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. \Valmsley, carpenter, in Hackney-road, which destroyed the interior of the premises, together with the whole of the furniture.

' ed on the former occasion, in support of the ren tion for a new Theatre. He treated the Dormant, ,5),r, as Mr. SHERIDAN Styled it, the Reserved Patent, having lost its authority tor want of use. He compared it to the Sleeping Beauty, . who having been in a trance for a hundred years, was so gently moved when brought into action, that she was not waked, and was now bound in eternal slumber. Mr. SHERIDAN, in t answer, contencle6 that tlie. new Theatre was to be founded on the total ruin 0. the Drury-Lane property, and that no application would have been made for a third Theahe if that property bad not suffered by the late calamity. 0 1 answer to the metaphor re s pecti ng the Sleep i ng Beway, Mr SikERIDAN observed, that the inge nious Counsel might have found her awake in all her loveliness 'lB years ago,, when the Dormant Pa" tent "was acted upon.
